Wasn't the old wisdom "take only photographs, leave only footprints". I wonder if we will end up paying per kilometre for bushwalking, or per metre for climbing?
But I think this all started with the Rankins and Jarvers of the world making money (lots) from something the taxpayer was funding, and eventually the Parks Service wanted their bit...
Note also the fees payable to have your wedding photos (suckers) taken in a public park |
